Moving on

Debbie worked to get me the best outcome from my DUI charge that I could have asked for. She was able to get a deal with the prosecuting attorney very quickly so I with my life. I am truly grateful!

Best of the best!

I landed myself in a situation where I had absolutely no idea what to do or where to turn. A quick Google search connected me with Debbie Lang and I'm so grateful that it did. Debbie not only got me an excellent outcome, but she took the time to explain every single detail of the case, sometimes more... than once, to ensure I was fully aware of what was taking and place and possible outcomes. I am eternally grateful for Debbie. She is truly one of a kind and the absolute best of the best!

BEST in the Business!!

My wife was luckily able to get ahold of Debbie late on a Friday night. We had a consultation the following morning where she laid out the facts of my situation. I could tell almost immediately my wife found a very smart attorney to guide me through the entire process. As we walked through the courth...ouse on my court date, you could tell she had built rapport and respect among her peers, prosecutors, judges and even the police officers and security within the building. If you find yourself in need of an attorney to get you the best possible outcome from your situation, Debbie Lang and Halberg Defense is your team!

Best of the best!

Highly Recommend Debbie

I hired Debbie after my husband was arrested for 2nd Degree DWI. I appreciated how empathetic she was when I explained the situation. She helped me understand what would happen next and guide us through the entire process. She explained everything in a way that was easy for us to understand and was a...ble to answer every question we had. She was able to guide my husband to focus on his recovery and the steps he needed to take for sobriety to improve his outcome during his plea hearing. I would highly recommend Debbie for your legal needs. I am beyond thankful for Debbie!

"Attorney Debbie Lang is an eminently qualified DWI and criminal defense lawyer. She is highly regarded in the legal community, and she is devoted to her clients, representing them with care, thoroughness and skill. I can endorse her with confidence."

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 01

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Debbie is without question one of the hardest working, detail driven, thorough and superb lawyers I have EVER had the opportunity to work with. She is hands down one of the finest lawyers in town when it comes to high profile felony cases, especially criminal sexual conduct. She can also out litigate just about anyone in the business. She has the uncanny ability to know when she is missing something on a case. Most lawyers will not realize the error until they are in the middle of the trial. Debbie, however, figures it out weeks ahead of time and is able to run down the person or piece of evidence far in advance of the trial. As a result of her exhaustive preparation every client she represents gets A+ work and is always impressed. You will find none better than Debbie Lang."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
